Altura vs Emira (Just the looks)

[cedricchew]

The artura has better overall proportions. If the emira had a longer wheel base and larger over hangs with the same design I think it would be perfection. Now it’s just close to it

This is the sports car vs. supercar thing. The Emira has supercar cues but has sports car dimensions, meaning shorter wheelbase and overall length in conjunction with a higher, more practical roofline. This is why I chose the blackpack option, to visually reduce the height of the car. I am mostly into 50's and 60's European sports cars so I may be biased, but for a modern car the Emira is very beautiful and may prove to be timeless.

I did the same with the black roof for that reason

Seeing the Artura in person, my first thought was that it looks good and has a few similar design cues as the Emira. My second thought was that the Emira looks better overall - better proportions and more alluring curves from the profile angles. I spoke to the McLaren reps for a hour and decided that I'll test drive the Artura in the near future but my Emira will always be a keeper.

I never noticed this before, but after liking the looks of the Emira, I realize now that most "supercars" have a longer body design and next to the Emira it seems odd to me now. Hell, even the Corvette Z06 has this. I assume this longer design is to accommodate having an 8 cylinder engine in the back.
